Ê-sai 60:2

As Christians, is it possible to be ambitious in our work and still have our self-worth and identity firmly rooted in Jesus Christ? The world tells us that the point of work is to make a name for ourselves and accumulate fame and fortune. But as we'll see in this 3-day plan, the gospel replaces these improper ambitions with motivations to work to glorify God and serve others.

Abiding in Him is not a religious activity. It’s a spiritual position. Jesus’ call to “remain in Me” is an invitation into a life of divine dependence, victory, and fruitfulness. In a world driven by self-effort and constant striving, God calls His people to a higher reality: a life anchored in His presence and sustained by His Word.

Jesus reveals himself in Scripture as creator (at the beginning of time), carpenter (with his birth into the home of Joseph), gardener (at the resurrection), and king (in the new Jerusalem). This plan will lead you to a deeper appreciation for each of these appearances and what they mean for the work you do each day.

Jesus talked about his “Kingdom” fifteen times more than he talked about personal salvation. As important as sharing the gospel is, there are many ways in which your work can contribute to God’s mission for the world. In this plan, we will explore four of the ways your work matters for eternity beyond “saving souls.”
